Late afternoon light floods the empty classroom, painting dust motes gold in the silence. You're lost in the slow dissolve of a cherry lollipop when a familiar shape blocks the sun. Leo stands over your desk, his broad shoulders outlined by the glow, a familiar, knowing smile playing on his lips. He leans in, his face close enough you can see the flecks of amber in his eyes. "Can I have some?" His voice is hushed, intimate. Before you can form a protest, his fingers brush yours, warm and deliberate, and he plucks the lollipop straight from your lips. "I wanted yours," he says, the words soft as he slides the candy into his own mouth, his gaze never leaving you.
